Sometimes we choose self-sabotage over fighting a battle we can’t win. Giving up is a desperate but effective attempt to convince ourselves that we still have full control: we lost the battle not because we lost it, but because we chose not to fight it. Or at least, that’s what we tell ourselves. Defeatism is … Continue reading The Joy of Self-Destruction
As civilisational collapse becomes supercharged and at the same time concealed by social media algorithms, it is more urgent than ever to understand how the social media phenomenon got us here, rather than surrender to the unreality of the mirror world that has seized control of individuals and society. As with other innovations, our dependence … Continue reading Social Media: A Brief History of The Mirror World
Elon’s Swasticars did not become fascist overnight. They were all along part of a system which breeds fascism and green fairy tales in order to boost profits and keep fattening the oligarchs. Replacing fossil fuel-powered cars with electric vehicles addresses neither traffic congestion nor carbon emissions. Electric vehicles enter the market as brand new cars … Continue reading Lifecycle of a Swasticar
The worst enemy of truth is half-truth. Decades of programming have overloaded us to the point where we only pay attention to headlines, not the facts (or absence thereof) behind them. The consumatronic farm has bred any curiosity out of modern humans and replaced it with apathy on steroids. As truth becomes diluted by a … Continue reading Media In the Post-Reality World
People revolt only when they feel sufficiently oppressed to be prepared to risk everything. But this critical threshold will never be reached when society has been collectively bought out by this economic system long ago. We are stakeholders and participants in everything wrong with the world today: exploitation, natural destruction, climate breakdown. This dystopian society … Continue reading The Missed Revolution
As the oligarchy’s plan to deliberately destroy American society materialises, and the reasons why they do this become clear, what remains unclear is what the opposition plans to do: absolutely nothing. People are already reminiscing the days of “democracy”, as if things used to be perfect. But it was that “perfect” democracy which laid out … Continue reading American Democracy: A Primer
Not too long ago workers were fighting for an 8-hour shift, women for the right to vote, and African Americans and gays for the right to be accepted as human beings. It is bloody struggles like these which gave us today’s society. Yet those days seem like eons from another millennium, as the word “revolution” … Continue reading Revolt of The Couch Potatos
Both economy and politics have now come under the control of politicians disguised as businessmen, and businessmen disguised as politicians who do nothing all day but tinker with algorithms. Society is unequally pitted against a monstrous, unbreakable blob of coagulated power, money and media that have conspired with each other. The level of linkage between … Continue reading Keep Calm and Keep Feeding the Algorithm
Amid increasing speculation that America’s oligarchs may be attempting to crash the economy on purpose, it is important to remember that the global economic system was made to crash in the first place, whether intentionally, or not. Capitalism is by definition a self-destructive force which maximizes profit through rapid resource destruction, chaos and inequality. In … Continue reading American Chaos: The Oligarchy’s Plan to do The Unimaginable
Seeking safety in replicating the bad examples of others is one of the most unfortunate human traits. Most of the time we blindly follow the herd of a collective unconsciousness tugging itself towards a random direction. Sabotaging our access to our own vast emotional reservoir, we unconditionally surrender to a mind prison assembled for us … Continue reading The End of Free-Range Humans
